TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for WordPress site owners and content editors who reuse HTML, PHP, or text blocks across posts and pages. It solves the problem of repeatedly rewriting the same content by letting users build a snippet library with variables and shortcodes that insert directly from the post editor.

  • Custom shortcode creation
  • PHP code execution
  • Editor button and quicktag insertion
  • Custom snippet variables
  • Import/export snippets
  • AI Chatbot Integration
  • Snippet duplication
  • REST API access

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Post Snippets - Custom WordPress Code Snippets Customizer

plugin administration screen (top right corner of WordPress).
Uploading of zip files must be allowed, enable this in Sites Network Admin > Settings > Upload Settings > Upload file types.
If the shortcode is enclosed and contains content between the tags in a post. Example: [shortcode]Some text[/shortcode] the text within will be available in a variable called content. So in your snippet use {content} to display it. Don't enter 'content' in the variable field, it's automatically assigned.
Please visit the Support Forum for questions, answers, support and feature requests.
